+1 for the comment "in case of disk failure, recovery is going to be a pain". Also in the case of disk inconsistency for whatever reason (single failed write). Been there, done that, suffered for it (in the case of Intel "hardware" RAID - this was several years ago). Anyone but me find Intel's Windows drivers and entire RST/SRT software stack buggy and heavyweight? Just say no ....

Of course there is a standard, called DDF, used by the vast majority of hardware raid controllers (i.e. Avago) - I can pull out any RAID from my hardware raid controller and plug it in directly, and it will just work (in GNU/Linux, at least, but probably many other operating systems, too). Similalry, intel uses a de-facto "standard" format called IMSM, again, recognized by many operating systems without issue on non-Intel hardware.
